This week’s featured track on Skratch N Sniff’s Alternative Mix taps into a cross-country collaboration that feels tailor-made for the format. RDGLDGRN link up with Surfer Girl on “Virginia Beach,” a genre-blending single that moves effortlessly between alternative, indie pop, hip hop, and reggae-rock textures.
Built on a laid-back groove with bright melodic energy, “Virginia Beach” fits right into the DNA of the Alt Mix. It pulls from multiple scenes without feeling forced, striking that balance between familiar and fresh that defines the show week to week.
RDGLDGRN have been building in this lane for years. The Virginia-based group has collaborated with names like Pharrell Williams and Dave Grohl, while also earning national looks through outlets like MTV and Rolling Stone. Their momentum has only continued to grow, with recent placements including “Stay With Me” featuring Little Stranger landing in Madden NFL 2026.
“Virginia Beach” also connects directly to the band’s latest full-length release, The Gold Album, a project that expands their sound even further. The album features a wide range of collaborators including Nick Hexum of 311, along with Little Stranger, Ballyhoo!, Kash’d Out, Jarv, and Ries Brothers, reinforcing RDGLDGRN’s place at the intersection of multiple scenes.
The band is currently on the road for a 25-date co-headlining tour with Jarv, continuing to bring that same genre-fluid energy to live audiences across the country.
You can catch “Virginia Beach” in rotation on Skratch N Sniff’s Alternative Mix all weekend long. Find a station near you at snsmix.com/radio, and if you miss the broadcast, the full mix will be available to stream on SoundCloud starting Monday.
